Madrone is a data center cooling technology company (Y Combinator Spring 2026, NVIDIA Inception) building modular thermodynamic cooling systems that sit outside the data center and chill water to the dew point, eliminating the need for mechanical chillers and cooling towers. The company claims roughly 30% less power and water than a conventional chiller-plus-cooling-tower setup in Texas installations, freeing that power and capital for additional GPU compute. It is an early-stage hardware and infrastructure company with a sales-and-partnerships motion; as of this profiling it publishes no public API, developer portal, SDKs, documentation, or other machine-readable developer surface.
